Genesis 39
1 Now, Joseph, was taken down to Egypt, —and Potiphar, courtier of Pharaoh, chief of the royal executioners, an Egyptian bought him, at the hand of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down thither.
Sima, bamemaki Jozefi na Ejipito. Potifari, kalaka ya lokumu ya Faraon mpe mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, moto ya Ejipito, asombaki ye na maboko ya bato ya Isimaeli oyo bamemaki ye kuna.
2 And it came to pass that Yahweh, was with Joseph, so that he became a prosperous man, —and was in the house of his lord the Egyptian.
Yawe azalaki elongo na Jozefi; boye Jozefi azalaki kolonga na makambo nyonso oyo azalaki kosala, mpe avandaki kati na ndako ya moto ya Ejipito, nkolo na ye.
3 And his lord saw, that, Yahweh, was with him—and that whatsoever, he was doing, Yahweh, was causing to prosper in his hand.
Tango nkolo na ye asosolaki ete Yawe azali elongo na Jozefi, mpe ete Yawe azali kolongisa ye na makambo nyonso oyo azali kosala,
4 So Joseph found favour in his eyes and waited upon him, —and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had, gave he into his hand.
Jozefi azwaki ngolu na miso ya nkolo na ye, oyo apesaki ye mokumba ya kobatela bozwi na ye nyonso: Potifari akomisaki Jozefi mokonzi kati na ndako na ye mpe apesaki ye mokumba ya kobatela biloko na ye nyonso.
5 And it came to pass from the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had, that Yahweh blessed the house of the Egyptian, for Joseph’s sake, —yea it came to pass, that the blessing of Yahweh, was with all that he had, in the house and in the field;
Wuta tango Potifari akomisaki Jozefi mokonzi kati na ndako na ye mpe mokonzi ya biloko nyonso oyo azalaki na yango, Yawe apambolaki ndako ya moto ya Ejipito mpo na Jozefi; lipamboli ya Yawe ezalaki na likolo ya biloko nyonso oyo azalaki na yango, kati na ndako na ye mpe na bilanga.
6 so that he left all that he had in the hand of Joseph, and took note with him of nothing, save only the bread which, he himself, was eating. And so it was that Joseph was comely in form and comely in countenance.
Boye Potifari atikaki biloko na ye nyonso kati na maboko ya Jozefi, azalaki lisusu kotala eloko moko te longola kaka bilei na ye. Jozefi azalaki na nzoto kitoko mpe elongi kitoko.
7 And it came to pass after these things, that his lord’s wife lifted up her eyes unto Joseph, —and she said—Come! lie with me.
Sima na yango, mwasi ya nkolo ya Jozefi alulaki ye Jozefi mpe alobaki na ye: — Yaka kosangisa na ngai nzoto!
8 And he refused and said unto his lord’s wife, Lo! my lord, taketh no note with me as to what is in the house, —but, all that pertaineth to him, hath he delivered into my hand:
Kasi Jozefi aboyaki mpe alobaki na mwasi ya nkolo na ye: — Tala, nkolo na ngai atunaka ngai ata eloko moko te na oyo etali ndako na ye, mpe atika biloko na ye nyonso kati na maboko na ngai.
9 There is no one greater in this house than I, neither hath he withheld from me anything, save only thyself in that thou, art his wife, —how, then could I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
Moto moko te aleki ngai na monene kati na ndako oyo. Nkolo na ngai apekisi ngai eloko moko te longola kaka yo, pamba te ozali mwasi na ye. Boye ndenge nini penza ngai nakoki kosala likambo ya mabe boye mpe kosala masumu liboso ya Nzambe?
10 And it came to pass, that although she Spake unto Joseph day after day, yet hearkened he not unto her to lie beside her to be with her.
Mokolo na mokolo, mwasi ya Potifari azalaki kaka kotungisa Jozefi, kasi ye mpe azalaki kaka koboya kosangisa na ye nzoto to kozala na ye elongo.
11 And it came to pass, when, on a certain day, he went into the house to attend to his business, —and there was no man of the household, there in the house,
Mokolo moko, awa Jozefi akotaki na ndako mpo na kosala mosala na ye, mpe ata mosali moko te azalaki wana,
12 that she caught him by his garment, saying—Come! lie with me. Then left he his garment in her hand, and fled and gat forth outside,
mwasi ya Potifari akangaki ye na bilamba mpe alobaki na ye: — Yaka kosangisa na ngai nzoto! Kasi Jozefi asundolaki elamba na ye kati na maboko ya mwasi ya Potifari mpe akimaki libanda ya ndako.
13 And it came to pass when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, —and fled forth outside,
Tango mwasi ya Potifari amonaki ete Jozefi asundoli elamba na ye kati na maboko na ye mpe akimi libanda,
14 that she cried out to the men of her house and spake to them, saying, Look ye! he hath brought in to us a Hebrew man to insult us, —He came in unto me, to lie with me, so I cried out with a loud voice.
abengaki basali ya ndako na ye mpe alobaki: — Botala! Mo-Ebre oyo bamemelaki biso ayaki nde kosakanela biso! Aluki kosangisa na ngai nzoto, kasi ngai nagangi makasi.
15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted high my voice, and cried out, then left he his garment beside me, and fled and gat forth outside.
Tango ayoki ete nagangi makasi mpo na koluka lisalisi, asundoli elamba na ye pembeni na ngai mpe akimi libanda!
16 So she laid by his garment beside her, —until his lord should come into his house,
Mwasi ya Potifari abombaki elamba ya Jozefi pembeni na ye kino mobali na ye azongaki na ndako.
17 Then spake she unto him, according to these words, saying, —He hath been in unto me—the Hebrew servant whom thou didst bring in to us—to insult me.
Bongo abetelaki ye lisolo: — Mowumbu Mo-Ebre oyo omemelaki biso, ayaki epai na ngai mpo na kosakana na ngai.
18 And it came to pass when I lifted high my voice and cried out, then left he his garment beside me, and fled outside.
Kasi tango nagangaki makasi mpo na koluka lisalisi, asundolaki elamba na ye pembeni na ngai mpe akimaki libanda.
19 And it came to pass, when his lord heard the words of his wife which she spake unto him saying, According to these words, hath thy servant done to me, Then was kindled his anger.
Tango nkolo ya Jozefi ayokaki lisolo oyo mwasi na ye abetelaki ye na maloba oyo: « Tala ndenge mowumbu na yo asali ngai, » Potifari asilikaki makasi.
20 So Joseph’s lord took him and delivered him up to the prison: the place where, the prisoners of the king, were imprisoned, —so he was there, in the prison.
Potifari akangaki Jozefi mpe abwakaki ye na boloko epai wapi mokonzi Faraon atiaka bakangami. Kasi, wana Jozefi azalaki kati na boloko,
21 And it came to pass that, Yahweh, was with Joseph, and extended unto him lovingkindness, —and gave him his favour in the eyes of the chief of the prison.
Yawe azalaki elongo na Jozefi mpe atalisaki ye bolamu na Ye; asalelaki ye ngolu na miso ya mokonzi ya boloko.
22 So the chief of the prison delivered up, into Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison, —and of all that was doing there, he, was the doer.
Mokonzi ya boloko apesaki Jozefi mokumba ya kokengela bato nyonso ya boloko mpe ya kotambolisa makambo nyonso oyo ezalaki kosalema kuna.
23 After nothing, was the chief of the prison looking, of whatever was in his hand, —in that Yahweh, was with him, and whatsoever, he was doing, Yahweh, was causing to prosper.
Mokonzi ya boloko azalaki kotala lisusu likambo moko te kati na makambo oyo apesaki Jozefi mokumba ya kosala, pamba te Yawe azalaki elongo na ye mpe azalaki kolongisa ye na makambo nyonso oyo azalaki kosala.
